it sounds like your brake cable is too short, maby the people you bought it off of got the wrong cable when they replaced it.

rear brakes engage when turning
I have a 99 Foreman 450 ES.
Even when the machine is not running, if I turn the front wheels all the way to the right or left, the rear brakes engage. The brakes grab hard enough to lock up the rear tires when i push the machine around on a smooth concrete floor.
I think this explains the screeching I hear when I turn sharply while running the machine.
When I straighten out the handlebars, all is fine again.
Anyone have any ideas? I recently purchased this from a private party, and I know one of the rear discs was turned because it was warped, shortly before I bought it.
Thanks!

I had the same problem just back the rear brake cablr off till it doesn't grab when turning.
Could be that your rear brake cable is not routed properly along the frame and tightens when you turn.
HAS TO BE WHAT THE OTHERS SAID. NOTHING ELSE MAKES ANY COMMON SENSE TO ME.
yep, you guys are right -- just needed to loosen up the wingnut to bring pressure off the brake.
by loosening the wingnut, i noticed my parking brake is a little sloppier, but it still does the job.
thanks
